Panzanella is the perfect salad for the summer (and all year round). Panzanella is a combination of bright vegetables with crispy bread that is always a crowd favorite. Chef Chris Scott takes it to the next level by using cornbread, which is a staple in his home. Watch as the chef and his youngest daughter put together this amazing dish that you can easily replicate at home. Recipe below.

Ingredients:
For the Cornbread Topping:
• 2 cups (455 g) dry or stale cornbread cubes (can use Cornbread recipe on p. xx, or store-bought cornbread)
• 2 Tbsps butter
• 1⁄4 cup (55 g) whole oats, toasted
• 1⁄4 cup (55 g) flaxseeds, toasted
• 1⁄4 cup (55 g) crumbled pecans, toasted
• 1 cup (225 g) nutritional yeast
• 2 Tbsps fresh thyme leaves
For the Panzanella:
• 8 baby patty pan yellow squash, halved
• 2 Tbsps olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 head green leaf lettuce, quartered
• 10 ripe cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1⁄2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1⁄2 lb (225 g) green beans, halved, blanched and shocked (see sidebar below)
• 5 red radishes, thinly sliced
• 1 cup (240 ml) Buttermilk Ranch Dressing, or to taste (p.xx)
Directions:
1. Combine the first nine ingredients, minus the chicken in a bowl. Whisk together until combined. Divide drumsticks in
plastic bags and cover with liquid. Vacuum seal and let marinade for at least an hour, up to four hours.
2. After the time in the vacuum bags, remove drumsticks from plastic bag and place in clean container. Cover with
buttermilk and let sit for one hour.
3. In a baking dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and cornmeal. Remove the drumsticks from the
buttermilk and dredge in the dry mix. Fill deep fryer with oil and heat to 325F. Carefully add the drumsticks, cooking in
batches as to not overcrowd the fryer. Fry the drumsticks until cooked through and crispy, or until a thermometer
inserted into the thickest point registers a t 165F. About 12 minutes.
